Nik Bhatia—adjunct Professor of Finance and Business Economics at USC and author of the new book "Bitcoin Age"—joins "The Culture Bit" guest Host Frank Corva to explore how Bitcoin is poised to disrupt traditional wealth storage systems like real estate, cash, and bonds. Bhatia, a USC professor and former bond trader, breaks down why Bitcoin isn’t just “digital gold,” but a revolutionary form of permanent money that challenges the foundations of how humanity stores and transfers wealth across generations.
Learn why Bitcoin can complement productive capital (like equities), potentially demonetize real estate, and become a core pillar in the new financial order. If you're interested in macroeconomics, Bitcoin, or the future of money, this episode is a must-watch.
